ZONA: That is *not* the reason we came after you. The reason … I … came after you.
TULA: There was more than one reason. More than one purpose in our actions. Not all of it is under our control. But you are here. Zona and you are together. And that is a powerful good, not just for you two.
PONTAGAR: And that? (pointing at the torc)
ZONA: Mentl is my silver-bonded and a member of our tribe.
PONTAGAR: Charming.
MENTL: You got a problem with that, Big Red?
PONTAGAR: (shrugs) If I do or don’t, what does it matter to you? Just kill a dragon, little man, and this I swear - any problems I ever had with you will go away. Gen venon co Eroghen. Welcome to the tribes of Erogenia.
ZONA: I’m proud of you, Pontagar. You’ve learned some rudimentary manners.
PONTAGAR: Hmf!
ZONA: But we also have some important news. From my mother.
(Pontagar and Rannik’sears prick up)
ZONA: And also from my father.
(Pontagar and Rannik: “WHAAAA?”)
TRANSCRIPT:
PAUSE. Zona and Pontagar eye each other.
PONTAGAR: You got what you went for. He’s here, now. And … I saw some of what he can do. (To Mentl)
PONTAGAR: So - you’re going to fight for us? Use your magick?
MENTL: Yeah.
PONTAGAR: You can kill an ogre and you can dig a hole in the ground. Can you kill a dragon?
MENTL: (thinks) Yeah. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I can.
PONTAGAR: Good. Because if you can’t, then you won’t be any special use. And the warriors we lost because Zona was gone will have bought us just one more little magicker with their lives.
ZONA: Pontagar …
MENTL: No, he’s right.
: That’s why you guys came after me. That’s what Erogenia needs. That’s what The Book said. And now that I’m here after going home, after training there and all - I can feel it. It’s … really sometimes like it’s hard to even keep it under control. What did Tula say - A “walking earthquake”, or something? Well, that’s what my job is now. So point me where you need me. I’ll do the magick.
"Dig my grave"
Dig my grave
Mentl plows a hole in the ground sufficient for the corpses - all while keeping the dirt suspended above it
GUNTIG: Well, that’s ...
TULA: Impressive?
TRANSCRIPT:
MENTL: Here - have some kishir. I’ll see what I can do about immobilizing the arm - but not sure how good my healing magick is, just yet. I’ll let Tula handle you when she’s got a minute. Nothing personal, just don’t want to do more harm than good.
Easy, dude. Chera’s stuff may be a little stronger than you’re used to. Although, in your case that’s not a bad thing.
RANNIK: Shouldn’t you be helping the battle, then - enchanter?
MENTL: Zona’s got it. It’s been awhile since she could really cut loose like this. And honestly, I might just get in the way.
ON ZONA having a perfectly wonderful time butchering Urtts (“This is GREAT!”)
RANNIK: Yes. Yes, we’ve missed her.
MENTL: I’ll bet.
RANNIK: I look … forward to hearing your story.
Guntig morphs from hawk to human right next to them.
MENTL:GAH!
GUNTIG: Either help or get out of the way.
MENTL: Uhh … your patient.
TRANSCRIPT:
HRRAARCH: <Well, if you don’t need to make water, that’s well. I want to get many leagues under our wings before I have to land. I have seen Urtts on the western side of these mountains, and I don’t want to get in range of their bows. >
IPOLA: <That far east? Truly?>
HRRAARCH: <Yes, though they haven’t crossed the peaks into the desert yet that I’ve seen. But they are - >
IPOLA: <Wait - I …>
HRRAARCH: <You see something?>
IPOLA: <Not see … I feel ->
TRANSCRIPT
ZONN: Wow.
CHERA: So - “be bold and trust to luck,” eh?
ZONN: Yes …
CHERA: Isn’t that exactly what you always used to say?
ZONN: Yes. And look where it got me.
CHERA: Well, I am looking, Lord. And it’s not really all that bad, is it?
ZONN: Eh, I suppose not.
